American schools begin in September after a long summer holiday. There are two terms (学期) in a school year. The first term is from September to January, and the second term is from February to June. Most American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.
High school students take only five or six subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day, and they have homework for every class. After class, they do a lot of interesting things.
After high school, many students go to college (大学). They usually have to pay (付费), many college students work after school to get money for their studies.

I am Camila. I live in Miami with my mother, Damaris, my father, and my brother, Rene. My mother comes from Cuba. My father comes from Puerto Rico.
My mother and I go to school together. That’s because she teaches Spanish in my school. When we are at home, I like to help her cook dinner.
Sometimes when my Grandma Marta comes to visit, I dress up and put on a show for her.
On Sundays we go shopping with Grandma. Then we all go to Aunt Martica and Uncle Miguel’s house. After lunch we play music and sing.
What I like best is when Papi takes us fishing. Most of the time we get nothing. I can’t wait to catch my first fish.
